Hello all,

Fallowing the ruling on www.vekn.net/forum/rules-questions/82824-non-vtes-ban-ruling-question.

We will be starting series of scheduled events with restricted access solely based on location Banishment.

Thus only selected 10 player will be participating.

This was made to demonstrate how this will disrupt the player standing in standard, and change the top 5 player ranking.

Fallowing this ruling we are under no sanctions for this and it does not brake set Code of Ethics and stated rules.

A few remarks:
1/ if you want to "prove" something that is mathematically provable, you don't have to do it in real life.
2/ organizing tournaments in order to "demonstrate how this will disrupt the player standing in standard" is a way of trying to cheat somehow, no matter how you turn the thing. "Disrupting player standing" cannot be considered as ethical especially when =>
3/ all tournaments are supposed to be as inclusive as possible. Sometimes organizers don't have the choice in the venue that may prevent some people from coming, but choosing such locations on purpose of excluding eligible players hinders the section 1. of the www.vekn.net/tournament-rulesTournament rules , that is player eligibility:

1.1. Player Eligibility
Any player is eligible to participate in an open, non-invitational, V:EKN-sanctioned tournament (for non-open tournaments, see section 9.8) except for the following:

The tournament organizer of record (unless he or she is participating in an event that uses the Multi-Judge System; see section 2.9);
The head judge and any other listed judges of record (exception: see section 2.9);
Players currently suspended by the V:EKN;
Other players specifically prohibited from participation by V:EKN or Black Chantry Productions limited policy.
Any ineligible player participating in a V:EKN-sanctioned tournament will be subject to the Judges' Guide and further V:EKN review.
